Granted you won't make 65K a year at first, but depending on how your first year went, it can possibably decide what you will make the following year. If you get promoted to a team leader (which can happen fast) you can make an extra 20-30K a year. This depend on how many people you can get to sell with you on your team then everyone can share in on the profits. As a unit leader, you still share profits, but there is more profit on your part because of your promotion. This level is a little harder to achieve, but with a little effort you can quickly achieve your goal and to quote my message...(in which you call an "earn money fast gimmick") You can earn up to 65K a year. My unit leader does it. Why couldn't anybody else. All I asked was to simply reply if interested, nit to critize my math. Sorry to put it abruptly, but I have a business to maintain. As for finding a host(ess), it is easy. You start out with friends and family that support you. It is to no cost to anybody. You'll see how fast you clients with expand. You also run personal specials within your own part of the business. So if you are interested reply. I am a team leader...I make an extra 20-30,000.00 a year. If I could become a unit leader then I could make more with little effort once promoted! --- FMail/386 0.98 * Origin: KeyBored BBS - Sewickley, PA - (1:129/259) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 184 HOME OFFICE Ref: DC^00002 Date: 08/30/96 From: DICK ROEBELT Time: 02:20pm \/To: JOE TURCZAK (Read 8 times) Subj: Telephone HOLD button JOE TURCZAK spoke thusly to: DICK ROEBELT JT>DR> There are a whole lot of tapes available that are copyright JT>DR> free and no ASCAP or BMI fees are due.

I have reason to believe that the latest ruling came from either the appellate level or the USSC itself. But I read so damn many cases that they all tend to run together (in my mind). So I caution anyone to double check. If I am mistaken then the ruling would only apply to a certain jurisdiction till another (other) circuit[s] agreed. But I do know that a ruling was made and ASCAP wasn't at all happy with it. Dick Am I a law-abiding gun owner? Hm, What's the law today?

Hi Dave, I did reply because I was interested. I saw a message that said "earn money fast," $50 an hour up to $65,000 per year. I was interested in how someone could earn this kind of money with little or no effort as you said in your message. I didn't mean to pick on your math, sorry! But in the home based word processing and resume writing business my wife and I operate, we use numbers to judge how the business is going, how well is the marketing is pulling for us, etc. By the way, my day job involves sales and marketing for an industrial distribution company. I sell pumps, motors, power take offs and a whole bunch of stuff where gear ratios, horsepower, cubic inches, and a lot of other numbers determine the success or failure of a system. So if I zeroed in on your math being out of line with your statement of little or no effort required, it was because I have to resolve numbers that do not add up. It's my technical training, my sales training, and my experience as a home business operator that causes me to do so. Since you posted your message in the Home Office discussion area of Fidonet, I thought you had time to discuss your home based business. I've been hanging around this echo for about 18 months now. Kind of a hobby. Maybe if you dropped the recruiting pitch, we could talk about logistics of moving product, price points, service philosophy, long term goals, marketing plans, etc. But if you have a business to maintain, I understand. Have a good day. -Franco Rios P.S. - When you post a message with a subject line of "HOME BUSINES$$$$$," many people will not stop to read it because the dollar signs ($$$$$) just scream "Sales Pitch!" I thought you might be interested in that.
